The Steelers Story
(as told by Scott)

Jascha and I used to go to watch all of the NFL Sunday games at Spectadium.  Once we went just to watch a 1:00pm Lions game which turned into a 4:00 Steelers game, which then turned into an eight o'clock Sunday night match-up.  I must have been drinking Jack & Coke for about five hours before I went to the bathroom.  I did not get sick, however, I did pass out in the stall.  I passed out in the bathroom for a couple of hours before Jascha even realized it because he was so into the game.  Later in the evening he came into the bathroom to relieve himself and noticed my shoes at the bottom of the stall door.  Jascha then proceeded to ask me if I was all right?  With little or no conception of where I was or how long I had been there, Jascha sure enough came to my rescue.  We always laughed about the fact that he had become engulfed by the Steelers game rather than noticing me missing for more than a half of a football game!  It sure was a memorable moment, not only because of my and his actions, but because of the laughter we could get from others when telling them that very same story.  And the best part about it was that anyone who knew Jascha did not even have to ask him how he could have not noticed someone missing for two hours because anyone that knew him knew about his passion for sports and especially the Pittsburgh Steelers.
